68 Chevelle door panels will fit a 69 Beaumont right?


Can anyone confirm this for me? I believe they will fit, but I just want to make sure before I buy a set.

Thanks in advance! I will repay you with a nice picture of a Beaumont which is obviously not mine..

I think they do fit but if your going from 68 hardtop to 69 hardtop you will have an extra window crank hole that was ment for the 68 vent window That the 69 does not have.

correct, the '69 hardtop does not have vent windows unless it is a sedan car

  It would be a lot of work and added expense to make them fit. The 1968 A-Body cars have a vent window that uses a different top inner structure for the front door panel. The inner fuzzie will also be too short. The rear door panel structure is the same for 68 and 69. This is assuming you are talking only about two hardtop cars. 

 My advise would be to wait and buy the 69 door panels

OK, thanks guys. I did not see the differences but I will hold off and either redo mine, or find some 69's.

The hole for the lock button ferrule is farther forward on the 69 door panels as well
